초록 ▼

An electronic rate meter controller is provided for controlling the dispensing of meterable material by an applicator apparatus, typically in the agricultural area. The rate meter controller retrofits a manually-controllable rate meter within the applicator apparatus that controls the rate of material flow through the applicator by adjustment to a primary control member of the rate meter, such as a rotary calibration dial. The rate meter controller allows for automatic electronic control and adjustment to the rate meter by the primary control member, based on user inputs and certain sensor inputs. Typical sensor inputs include speed of the applicator apparatus as it is being moved while dispensing the metered material, and ambient air temperature which affects the applicator system pressure for certain materials such as anhydrous ammonia. The rate meter controller also allows for manual electronic remote control of the rate meter, such as from a cab of a vehicle moving the applicator apparatus. The rate meter controller can be utilized as an independent system or as a subsystem of an integrated system controlling a plurality of control devices. The rate meter controller can accommodate one or a plurality of rate meters within an applicator apparatus.

대표청구항 ▼

A system for managing a plurality of agricultural devices, one of said plurality of agricultural devices having an applicator for dispensing a meterable material by means of a rate meter that controls the rate of material flow through the applicator in response to movement of a manually adjustable primary control member, the system comprising: (a) user interface means for selectively displaying status and control information associated with the plurality of agricultural devices and for receiving user input information for selectively controlling operation of the plurality of agricultural devices; and (b) electronic integrated system control means, operatively connected between said user interface means and the plurality of agricultural devices, for identifying each agricultural device to be managed, for storing program code and data, for accessing stored program code and data associated with each identified agricultural device, for receiving user input information from said user interface means, for generating electrical control signals controlling the plurality of agricultural devices and for providing said status and control information to said user interface means; (c) wherein said electronic integrated system control means comprises an electronic rate meter controller for controlling said one of said plurality of agricultural devices, comprising: (i) actuator means configured for operative mechanical connection to the manually adjustable primary control member of the rate meter and to receive an electrical control signal, for mechanically moving the manually adjustable primary control member in controlled real time response to said electrical control signal; and (ii) electronic control means operatively connected to said actuator means for providing said electrical control signal to mechanically move the manually adjustable primary control member to desired control positions; wherein the rate of material flow through the applicator is adjustably controlled in real time in response to said electrical control signal.
